Sounds like a great trip Mike. And the best part, no issues with anything! Truck, boat, trailer, etc. Saweet. If that had been me, I would blew at least 2 trailer tires, smoked a bearing or two, lost a water pump on the truck, and had at least one breakdown on the water needing a tow from boat u.s. , and would have got several tickets from that DNR officer. Moral of my story, Yes the 3 hour flight was nice, but not having my boat in these waters???? Taking two weeks next year. |
Another example of the room you have on one of these wonderful boats. You can tie your bikes in and still room to move around.......try that with a 39 gun.:whistle:

Mike,
We passed you in Louisville south of the bridge heading home. We were in a blue CTS going like a raped ape and saw you bouncing around pretty good. The traffic just plane sucked. The boat looks awesome. Congrats. We left Palmetto at 1:00 AM yesterday and was in Rockford Mi at 7:30 PM. It helps to be in a car running 85 the whole time. |
Yeah...Louisville is where I-65 started getting ROUGH. Plus, I got stuck behind some jackhole semi doing 45 through the entire city. Traffic was so thick in the left lane I couldn't jump out, so I just had to sit in and go slow.
|
Sounds like you had a good trip. Sands and Scotty's are great places.

Mike, slight correction... See below.

Ran back up to Key Biscayne and pulled into Crandonton Park Marina, where we enjoyed meeting Mr. Manitee (Bill Zimmerman) or BZ for short the next slip over, and had cocktails on the beach for the afternoon.

What? Nobody else does this? Lol.
There are two in there...Michelle's bike is black and red and perfectly matches the boat. The green one is my new Trek Madone...picked it up the day before we left, so my first ride on it was in FL. 16.5 lbs of carbon goodness... I strapped and cushioned them with a myriad of bungee cords and a couple of large moving blankets when we were underway. Didn't budge OR hurt anything in 3-5s on the ocean...but I took it pretty easy and kept the boat in the water as much as possible. Glad you made it back OK! I have to admit, the bike thing cracks me up, I guess I'll have to give you "side-entry" guys the thumbs up on that one! It would be pretty hard to carry the bikes on a center entry (not that I'ld want to do it) ! You sure live a charmed life, not even having to dip your new trailer in the saltwater, that's great. Sounds like you had a great time in Florida, except for the drive! Steve |
Nice blog post Mike!
http://sommerfliesby.blogspot.com/20...red-miles.html Glad to see you are enjoying the boat. I hate to say it, but... ...I told you so! When are you going to post the <S> picture in the cabin which $old you? :drink: Did you blow a tire on the trip? I thought I saw something about that on FB. |

No issues at all with tires. Got a pretty big rock chip right by the step on the port side, but that's an easy fix. Thanks for the compliment on the blog...its a long read, but I've been enjoying writing this stuff down and reliving it when I read it again down the road.
